I love pasta salads & this is now one of my favorites.. Don't skimp on the tomatoes as I did(didn't have enough) because you need these to counter the saltiness of the meats & dressing(used Kens Northern). Enjoy!

Good, but definitely way too dry. I had to add another 8oz bottle of dressing before it was served.

I just made this pasta salad for a BBQ we're going to this evening - it turned out great! I used rainbow pasta and I didn't even include salami as I found some dry pepperoni and cut that into cubes - it's plenty of meat for this dish. Nice and easy!

Wonderful! But I make mine with cauliflower, broccoli, cucumber, cherry or grape tomoatoes, black olives, pepperoni and sometimes green onion. Yum.

I make my pasta salad almost identical to this one, except I do not use pimentos, or green pepper. In place of provolone I use 2 pkgs feta tomato & basil cheese and don't use salami. Unbelievable. It gets ate up in a heartbeat and I'm always giving out the recipe.

I whipped this up for dinner tonight. I was very happy with the results. I was REALLY satly because of the dressing and the other ingredients, but that can be fixed. I was really suprised that my daughter liked it as much as she did. I didnt change anything and it was very delish.

This was good - I substituted quite a bit. I used tri-color rotini, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, canned tomatoes, green peppers, and Italian dressing. It was delicious with our cheeseburgers on the grill and corn on the cob - but next time I will probably put more Italian in it, I don't think my version had quite enough flavor to it!

I believe most pasta salads are the same with the exception of the dressing. When I made this I used bottled Italian Salad Dressing (Wishbone). I was disappointed. I wouldn't change anything if I make it again except with a homemade dressing.

Like most people, I liked this pasta salad, and it's a great base recipe to what you will with. I did mine with no pimento, and I used bowtie pasta, added the small Mozerella "balls". not sure what they are really called, but it all was fine.

Totally easy and versatile. You can add more veggies, different meats or different cheeses, not to mention different pasta shapes for fun. Delish!

This salad is really good. I especially liked that both salami and pepperoni are in it, but I might use more pepperoni next time. I used a red bell pepper instead of green (not a fan of green) and eliminated the pimentos. I used Newman's Own Family Recipe Italian dressing...the ENTIRE 16 oz. bottle. I think I would've regretted not using the whole bottle if I hadn't. Next time, I might grate some fresh parmesan in. This makes a HUGE bowl of salad..don't make it if you don't have a crowd to feed or you don't want to eat leftovers for a week. :-) Again, this is a really good pasta salad. Try it!

This recipe is very good! I substituted fresh mozeralla balls instead of provolone. I couldn't find fusilli, I used another type of pasta. It was just as good.

I made this for a cookout this weekend. There was none left over. My husband was disappointed because he wanted some more the next day. This was very easy to make also.

I made this pasta salad yesterday to bring to a BBQ and I have to say this pasta salad was the hit of the BBQ. It was literally gone within an hour. The only changes that I made were I omitted the pimentos and I added frsh mozzarella. I will DEFINITELY be making this again.
